Today at the Swedish national transportation department, I learned two things: 1. Out of 46,000 license plates read by a congestion pricing camera in Gotenburg, only 3 plates had been defaced. Not 3%. Three. That's .006% (compared to 1,000X that in NYC: nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/02/13/dat…)..

A moment of #Stockholm Zen....

You really don't hear too much about Stockholm biking on social media. When I was here 9 years ago the biking was good but not great.

Now the numbers are up substantially and you'll find rush hours are pretty packed.

.NYC DOT said the 4th Ave. construction would end June 2024 and the erasure of the PBL was short-term/temporary PBL not req'd. We said it was clear the work wouldn't be done by then and yup, we learned at Brooklyn Community Board 7 that the current work end will AUG 2025 earliest. #Fix4thave

Our editor, Gersh Kuntzman, is in Stockholm to examine that city's experience with congestion pricing. In his first installment, he interviews transport official Jonas Eliasson who has a simple message to NYC: 'Just do it. Congestion pricing works.' nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/05/03/sto…

The mayor's list of projects to harness congestion pricing's expected reduction in traffic is a lot less than what's needed or possible, according to advocates.

There’s some good here (3rd Ave 🚲 lane extensions, completing 6th Ave bike lane). But overall, releasing a mostly retrospective report weeks before a really momentous transportation policy change is pathetic & embarrassing

“We can’t possibly pedestrianize a shopping street because there will be no customers.”

Some congestion pricing critics claim the tolls are a 'tax on cancer patients,' but in dealing with a family member's recent cancer diagnosis & trips to/from treatment in Manhattan, contributor Alex Morano realized the speciousness of that argument.

Hey NYC DOT, do you have the funds to add some real protection to the Adams Street bike lane? These cones aren't working.

All cities have space. Some just make better choices than others.
